Life has been really really busy. With changes all around, Runaway Bride is in hunt of some solace,which she has not been able to find since ages now. Anyways, there are at least three stories to be posted here.One by one, they shall come!
So, dad got Mr S's profile from a common friend.Everything seemed perfect. And for a change, Runaway Bride didn't turn him down by just having a look at the profile.Mr S worked with a US MNC and was planning a visit to India soon.He had plans of settling down in India.S wanted to talk to yours truly, on the phone , before actually meeting her,which seemed a reasonable demand.And, hence phone numbers were exchanged.
One fine Saturday morning, when S was supposed to call, the phone didn't ring at all.And Runaway Bride, being the lazy gal she is, didn't bother to get up, as it was too early to be awake at 9 a.m. on a Saturday. Time went by, and it was past 10 am soon when she managed to get up.She was shocked to see three missed calls from S! He had called as per the decided time, but Runaway Bride's damn phone was on No Vibrate-No Tone mode.She was sad that this happened, as S was one of those guys who seemed to be of her interest.
Anyways, she called S. And like a gentle-man he cut the phone call and called back.She apologised. He was cool about it. She liked his attitude. He liked her voice. She was taking non-stop.He was a great listener.She thought they should talk again. He thought so,too! But, soon they realised that they want different things from life. S wanted at least another 2-year stint in US, while Runaway Bride wasn't at all prepared to say goodbye to her whole duniya here in India.
No doubt, S was a gentle-man.But sometimes, what we want from life becomes the driving force behind the decisions we make.And compromise, was not what S or I was looking for. We both had our share of doubts about the kind of relaitionship which has its foundation on a compromise.We had been talking a lot(A LOT).But, then it was a mutual decision not to meet each other as we wanted really different futures.
He came to India for a vacation.We didn't talk or meet.But, unfortunately, Mr S got some problems with his visa and could not return to US.And he is still in India, but waiting to go.
Dear S, May God give you what (ever)you are looking for.
